Yellow Kole Eye Tang and Blue hippo (Blue Regal Tang)

AquaWave523 · 11/02/2009, 07:32 PM

Can they both co-exist in a 90 gallon?

Yes I know 90 is a bit small for the blue tang, I'll upgrade to a 6 foot tank in 2 years.

Thanks!

The two I have, co-existed in an 80 gal. until I upgraded 4 months later. Not sure I would wait 2 years.

Thanks man for the advice! I know its difficult to keep two tangs in a 90 gallon. But it has worked in some occasions say a yellow and a blue tang together. I don't want to over stress any of the fish.

I might lower the rocks since its standing up like a wall right now, 2 inches below water level to give the tang more open swimming space.

I have a Kole and a Regal in my 112gal. Unless they engage in a Battle Royale when I'm sleeping, they do just fine.
